Oh well I
Didn't realize I was a racist
So thanks a lot for setting me straight
I didn't realize that it's because I'm white
So fire away with the hate
I'm sorry that I never understood all the struggles
I hope it doesn't jeopardize my job selling Ruggles
I didn't realize I was a racist
Or is it just because I swallowed the bait
I guess I better sell all my Funkadelic records
And replace em with some Hall & Oates
Forget that I was pro-Obama back in 08
Make sure Romney gets all the votes
Drive my Hummer H3 from the soccer field
And check with my broker for the highest yield
And not to forget to call the homeless guy n____ (names)
And tell him to get back on the boat
Oh well I didn't realize I was a racist
So thanks a lot for setting me straight
There's a whole new set of skills that I gotta learn
Cause I never learned how to hate
You done me a service by showing I'm evil
Cause I never had to deal with the bad boll weevil
I didn't realize I was a racist
Now you really must be feeling great
I see you white now, We gon fight now
You ain't oppressed so stay pressed, I mean right now
We are the righteous, We gon fight dis

As many of you know, the specter of racism has reared its ugly head against 2 FuMPers in recent months...Thing is, both recipients of the racism were WHITE GUYS! Not to turn this into Social Studies 101, but some people need to, um, Chill the F*** Out it seems! So here's a song offered in thanks to the person who opened my eyes to the idea that, despite anything I say or do otherwise or how I live my life, the fact that I am white automatically makes me a disparaging, privileged oppressor. Guilty as charged I guess, though I've never thought or acted in that way, but I guess others know better than me! Sometimes you just can't win. Chris Mezzolesta - guitars, bass, vocals, loops. Craig Marks - just watching this time.
